First of all, I've only watched this drama because I like watching dramas with bad reviews and see for myself if it's as bad as people say. And sure enough, it was as bad if not worse as it seemed.

First 10 or so episodes are bearable but after that, when they go to college the fl's behavior becomes too embarrassing to watch.

I know I'm not the target age demographic this drama is probably intended for but this is a really bad example for any young girl who might want to watch this, and start thinking the behaviors shown are okay.

The ml is a grade A+ asshole, the worst of all towards the fl and she continued to worship the ground he walked until the end. Despite that, although I didn't like him, he was the only sane person in this drama. He was rude, sure, but he had every right to be harsh, considering the stalking tendencies both the fl and his mother of all people (who seemed to favor someone else's daughter than her own son) had.

The fl has a concerning borderline stalker personality but I think the ml's mother takes the cake for her creepiness. I think they intended the mother to seem cute but I just thought she was nuts.

The romance between the main couple is really problematic, It takes 14 episodes to make the ml show his feelings and he only reciprocated her feelings when he thought he was losing her to another man. Even after that, he continued being a rude motherfucker to the fl, and I can't for the life of me understand how could she love someone who treated her like that.

I preferred the second male lead and had second lead syndrome at times but then again he had issues of his own too so I couldn't totally feel sorry for him.

Overall this is a really draggy show with problematic characters and situations, take my advice and don't watch.

I give this drama 2 points out of 10, one for the acting of all of the actors (the main male actor not so much) and another for the happy ending.
